Dark Horse

Unravelling the Mystery of Nearctic

Nearctic was an equine aristocrat.  Tall, proud and true to his regal heritage, he could run a hole in the wind.  But Nearctic became a pawn in a bizarre power struggle.  His only real ally was Gordon (Pete) McCann, gifted trainer of countless Windfields Farm champions.  While McCann was able to understand and communicate with his horses, he was overruled time after time.  Both the man and the horse suffered.

Yet not only did Nearctic survive, he is recognized, as the most powerful Thoroughbred stallion in modern history.  His descendents dominate Winners Circles the world over. 

Rich in detail and character, Dark Horse takes readers behind the scenes of the world of the Thoroughbred, a terrain best-selling author, Muriel Lennox, knows so well.  Along the way we are introduced to a fantastic cast of characters - rogues and royalty, gamblers and charlatans.
